About
The One For Men Eau de Parfum Intense by Dolce&Gabbana is a Leather fragrance for men. The One For Men Eau de Parfum Intense was launched in 2020. The nose behind this fragrance is Jean-Christophe Hérault. Top notes are Cardamom, Neroli and Cypress; middle notes are Cashmeran, Neroli, Benzoin and Clary Sage; base notes are Neroli, Leather, Patchouli and Labdanum. "The quintessence of masculine charisma and refined elegance, The One for Men Eau de Parfum Intense brings a striking new intensity to the Dolce&Gabbana Beauty The One for Men line. Drawing on the olfactory inheritance of The One for Men Eau de Toilette and Eau de Parfum, and The One Grey Eau de Toilette Intense, it introduces a new expression of timeless sophistication that heightens the irresistible magnetism of the man who wears it.The One For Men Eau de Parfum Intense finds its magnetic appeal in a daring fusion of opposites. Intensely masculine, fascinating yet authentic, it is a scent of extremes – warm neroli golden facets with deep black leather in an enigmatic expression of olfactory chiaroscuro.The fragrance opens with luminous accents of golden neroli essence, fused with fresh cypress and warm, aromatic cardamom. A heart of musky cashmeran grounds the neroli with its woody, spicy vibrations, tinged with calming clary sage and resinous benzoin. The scent then unfolds to an addictive, intoxicating base, as the lightness of neroli withdraws to unveil smoky notes of deep black leather, intertwined with the sweet spiciness of patchouli and refined accords of cistus labdanum.Sharing the same clean geometric lines as the original The One for Men fragrance, the bottle is now reimagined in black, the iconic colour of Dolce&Gabbana. Symbolic of elegance, sensuality and tradition, the sleek black form is accented with radiant gold details, mirroring the distinctive facets of the fragrance within."The One For Men Eau de Parfum Intense is available as a 50ml Eau de Parfum Intense and 100ml Eau de Parfum Intense starting January 2020.
